HACKER Q&A

Quiethn.com is down, what's the best low-UI alternative HN reader?


The title says it all really. What are some other lightweight HN reader apps out there?

I wrote my own using the official HN API. It's about 100 lines of JavaScript. It keeps track (using localStorage) of which articles I've already seen, so I won't see them again. https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hn.html

Source is also on GitHub. Feel free to fork, open a PR, etc. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

Hey, I made the site, didn't realise people actually used it.

https://github.com/tomspeak/quiet-hacker-news -- the source is here, you could host your own version or run it locally on demand.

Just curious how news.ycombinator.com isn't sufficient?

It's probably the lightest-weight site I know of...



👤 karmakaze
I made/use https://hackerer.news (click heading to switch story lists)

It's not at all quiet--no audio but has dense text.

You can set up your mail client to read that feed.
